Review: Logitech X300 Mobile Wireless Stereo Speaker

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014

The Logitech X300 Mobile Wireless Stereo Speaker is a wireless Bluetooth speaker designed for both mobility and performance. It is affordably priced at S$99 in Singapore.

Despite its diminutive size, I found that the X300 speaker exhibited wide-range sound that easily fills a room.

That’s due to the way the drivers have been angled facing upward and out to produce a more expansive sound spectrum.

It delivers a deep and precise bass response, and detailed mid- and high-range sound.

You can also position the speaker upright in case of space constraints.

As with other Logitech Bluetooth speakers that I have tried in the past, connecting the speaker to a Bluetooth-enabled device and playing music streamed from the device is a piece of cake.

Simply hold down the Bluetooth button on top of the X300 for a few seconds for the initial pairing.

Make sure the source device has its Bluetooth turned on and is scanning for devices.

A blue light below the power button behind the speaker will begin to flash until it has paired with a device, in which case, the light will become solid.

I had no trouble pairing the X300 to my GALAXY S5 and iPad mini.
